Virgo Rising

Virgo Rising was an event at Yellow Bird Artspace (Woodbury, Tennessee) to honor the fall equinox of 2016. A 1300 foot
line of solar-charged lights, running due east-west, connected the
points of sunrise and sunset on the day of the equinox. A natural
limestone slab with an astronomical engraving remains permanently, embedded in the soil. With Emily C. Thomas, curated by David Wood.

The campfire has been in the center of social life since the
beginning of the time of man. Primordial man (Homo erectus) was
already warming his body by the fire a good million years ago. Fire
not only gave warmth and light, dried wet clothing, and cooked meat,
but was also sacred and healing. It was the sun spirit or the
heavenly fire that had taken up residence among the people. The ring
of boulders that were placed around the fire were the original
medicine wheel. The stone circle became the focus (in Latin, focus
means fireplace) of the sacred. Later, in the Neolithic period, stone
circles such as Stonehenge took on gigantic proportions. (From
Müller-Ebeling et al, Witchcraft Medicine, 2003)
